In August 2013, US. Special Operations Command officials announced a $562.2 million contract to General Dynamics for the Ground Mobility Vehicles 1.1 (GMV 1.1), including the delivery of 1,300 vehicles through 2020.

Built for speed, mobility and maneuverability, the Flyer vehicles allow operators to access previously denied terrain. Their low center of gravity makes them extremely maneuverable while maintaining a high degree of stability when traversing challenging terrain. These versatile vehicles can be reconfigured to support multiple crew and mission profiles, from three to nine operators with full payload and mission profile kits. General Dynamics is delivering the Flyer 60 and Flyer 72 to USSOCOM for the ITV and GMV 1.1 programs.

At AUSA 2015, the Flyer 72 is shown in two configurations: One six-man configuration with 30mm lightweight machine gun mounted on the 360º gun ring with a payload capacity of more than 5,000 pounds and internally transportable in a CH-47. The second Flyer 72 will be shown in the Army GMV (formerly the ULCV) configuration that carries a crew of nine and can be internally transported in a CH-47 or underslung from a UH-60 helicopter. Both variants can be equipped with C4ISR and a modular KE and underbody blast armor kit.

The Flyer 60 is shown in a five-man configuration with our lightweight .50 cal GAU-19/B Gatling gun. The Flyer 60 has a payload capacity of 4,500 pounds while being internally transported in V-22 and CH-47 or underslung on a UH-60 helicopter. It can be modified to carry up to four litter patients under a ROPS and provides mounting for a variety weapon platforms.
